That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Lactose intolerance refers to the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products, due to a lack of the digestive enzyme lactase. Without lactase, lactose cannot be broken down and absorbed by the body, leading to symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, and stomach cramps when consuming lactose-containing foods. Hypoglycemia, on the other hand, refers to low blood sugar levels and is not related to lactose digestion. Lactose inthurmia is not a recognized medical term and does not provide a valid explanation for the given answer.
